Pêcherie Manicouagan is committed to protecting our most vital water and seafood resources. That is why we ensure that all aspects of our business focus on sustainable fishing practices. Our fishing partners use methods that respect the laws and standards emitted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Our primary resources are stringently controlled by biologists; quotas are regularly re-evaluated by Fisheries and Oceans Canada to ensure stock levels remain optimal.
What’s more: we control the entire supply chain, from the moment seafood is hauled onto the boats to the processing to final delivery. This provides our clients with peace of mind knowing that the products they purchase from us are traceable from A to Z. In addition, all carcasses and shells are recycled and processed in our plant located on the Côte-Nord. This recycled material becomes fertilizer and agricultural compost.
Our dedication to sustainable fishing methods is one of the highest in the worldwide fishing industry. We are certified BRC and HACCP, one of the few suppliers to be committed to both standards.
Whelks
TIPS: To get the maximum flavor from the whelks, we recommend cutting them into thin slices. This will help to tenderize the meat. If you want to add whelks to a hot dish, add the slices just before serving to avoid the flesh from becoming too rubbery.
Brine vs marinades?
Vinegar marinades give whelks a longer shelf life than brine; however, the flesh becomes tougher. Marinated whelks make a perfect appetizer. For recipes that involve cooking, we recommend using the whelks in brine to get the maximum tenderness and flavor.

The Côte-Nord of Québec is awash with water from the Labrador Current—a cold current from the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans that brings pure and crystalline saltwater to its shores. This current provides the ideal environment for the region’s marine wildlife to thrive and excellent conditions for high-quality fish and seafood.
